Christmas Tree
Curbside: Many organizations collect Christmas trees for a small donation. The City of Spokane and Waste Management pick up Christmas trees on regular trash pickup days starting at the end of December and through the first 2 weeks of January. Drop off Christmas trees at any of the Transfer Stations Clean Green collection sites. Trees dropped off at the University Road Transfer Station should be cut into 4-foot pieces.
Only fresh cut trees are accepted (no artificial or flocked trees). All decorations need to be removed. City of Spokane will accept trees up to six (6) feet in height; trees exceeding six (6) feet need to be cut in half. Loose branches, not exceeding six (6) feet in length, may be bundled and placed next to the tree. For Waste Management customers, cut the tree to fit into your yard waste container or cut into sections 4 feet or smaller, bundle and place out at the curb. Trees need to be out for collection by 7:00 a.m. and at least three (3) feet away from your trash and recycle bins. Apartment complexes can schedule a one-time, one-location pick up of their residents' trees.
